The incidents are piling up, the police and experts are sounding the alarm: the average age of the young perpetrators is decreasing, their brutality is increasing – and their willingness to join a gang is increasing.

you threaten. They hit. they rob. And sometimes they even sting. Young people, sometimes children, who become violent. Their victims are often their own age or younger. Hardly a day goes by when the Munich police do not have reports of such cases. The latest incident happened on Wednesday. Two 15 or 16 year old youths rob two boys near the Harras. The perpetrators threaten the children and demand: “Give me everything you have!” A 12-year-old boy is searched, then spat on and slapped in the face. The perpetrators piled high with their loot: two euros.
